A stage musical version of the 1964 film Robin and the 7 Hoods is expected to reach Broadway in Spring 2010.
The film, starring Frank Sinatra and several of his "Rat Pack" cohorts, was set in 1930s gangland Chicago. Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen wrote the score, which featured the song "My Kind of Town," performed by Sinatra.
The stage version will be scored by Cahn and Van Heusen, with a book by Peter Ackerman. Several songs from Cahn and Van Heusen (both of whom passed away in the early '90s) will be worked into the show, including "Come Fly with Me" and the Oscar-winning "Call Me Irresponsible" (from Papa's Delicate Condition).
Producers are Barry Brown, Bruce Charet, Dennis Mastro, Dennis Farina, and Billy Campbell. Casey Nicholaw will direct and choreograph.
